What I do know is that I have had
Misophonia since before it existed, especially with regard to sounds related to eating. One person I know can't eat or drink normally (IMHO).
Normally you'd take a bite, chew, and swallow. Or, you take something to drink and swallow. After putting food into his mouth he chews... and chews... and chews.... end-less-ly-and-forever with a "much, munch, munch" sound. Chewing for a minute or so is no exception. When drinking, he goes like: "slrrrp, swallow, slrrrp, swallow, slrrrp, swallow, slrrrp, swallow, slrrrp, swallow", with tiny sips of half a mili-liter. He can easily keep that up for several minutes without even putting down his cup (!).
It's a wonder I haven't shot him yet.

My husband is like this. He gets really irritated at noise including my tone or volume. He gets upset if I walk too heavy or if the neighbors makes noise. Sometimes he so sensitive it makes him agitated to hear anything out of normal routine. I just leave him alone and go read.

Sound, or even noise, isn't even the problem. I actually like unidentified noise in the background; motor hum, computer fans, wind, or even music if instrumental. No problem. What I don't like is the urge some people have to constantly do things loudly while there is no reason for that.
Why does putting down a cup need to sound like a gun shot? Why should you slam a door shut, instead of just putting the handle down and then shutting it normally? Why do you have to sit down so extremely boorishly that you slam into your desk, rocking all the desks (and monitors) that are adjacent to it?
I don't expect men (or women) to be as dainty as a princess in a Disney story, but there's no reason for moving around and acting as if you're a 7.5 foot, 400 pound caveman that crushes everything that's not solid granite and can only communicate by bellowing as loudly as possible.
